LymeMIND videos now available for replay on YouTube

Last month’s LymeMIND 2022 conference brought together leading researchers, physicians and advocates to discuss a wide variety of topics related to the diagnosis and treatment of Lyme and other tick-borne diseases.

The annual event is sponsored by the Steven and Alexandra Cohen Foundation, the largest private funder of Lyme and tick-borne disease research in the United States.

Now, videos from that event are available to the public on You Tube.

In the following segment, three prominent Lyme disease advocates discuss “Finding your voice and fighting for the future.” Speakers are:

  • Lorraine Johnson, CEO of LymeDisease.org and principal investigator of MyLymeData
  • Pat Smith of the Lyme Disease Association
  • Dr. Betty Maloney, of Partnership for Tick-Borne Diseases Education
  • Ben Nemser of the Cohen Foundation moderates the panel

Is MS an Infectious Disease?

The following link contains a collection of research on MS and infections including fungus, Lyme, parasites, and viruses.  Highly recommend.  The website is Pam Bartha’s who’s life was turned upside down at the age of 28 when she was diagnosed with MS.  She lost vision in one eye, was weak and had tingling in her legs, insomnia, and severe fatigue and headaches.  She was told by doctors there was nothing she could do but wait around and become disabled.  Her mother in law gave her a book that set her on a healing journey that continues today.  The book was “The Yeast Connection” by Dr. Crook.  In it he shared that he believed many diseases are actually caused by infections, especially the GI tract.  This doctor observed that when he treated the infections, his patients recovered. Go here to read Pam’s story as there are golden nuggets for all within and great recommendations.

Pam is a wellness researcher, educator and coach with a BS who is a certified teacher.  She offers a free consultation and personalized training on how to get your health back.  (I have no affiliation with this program and receive no monies)

Multiple Sclerosis Infection – Is MS an Infectious Disease?

The following is an excerpt from Pam’s website.  Go to link for entire article

Multiple Sclerosis and Infection

Could Multiple Sclerosis be caused by infection? These studies and articles offer compelling evidence. Contact Us for more information.

1. Commensal microbiota and myelin autoantigen cooperate to trigger autoimmune demyelination.
Nature. 2011; 479(7374): 538-41. DOI: 10.1038/nature10554.

This study shows that microbes that live in the body (in particular the GI tract) are an essential factor in triggering the autoimmune response in MS and other diseases.

“Active multiple sclerosis lesions show inflammatory changes suggestive of a combined attack by autoreactive T and B lymphocytes against brain white matter. … The stimuli triggering this autoimmune conversion have been commonly attributed to environmental factors, in particular microbial infection. … We show that the commensal gut flora… is essential in triggering immune processes, leading to a relapsing-remitting autoimmune disease…“

2. Role of pathogens in multiple sclerosis.
International Reviews of Immunology. 2014; 33(4): 266-83. DOI: 10.3109/08830185.2013.823422.

This study states that “infectious pathogens (disease causing microbes) are the likely environmental factors involved in the development of MS.” It also identifies various microbes that are involved in the development of Multiple Sclerosis infection, which include various bacteria, parasites and viruses.

“Although the etiology of MS is unknown, genetic and environmental factors play a role. Infectious pathogens are the likely environmental factors involved in the development ofMultiple Sclerosis infection. Pathogens associated with the development or exacerbation of MS include bacteria, such as Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Chlamydia pneumoniae, the Staphylococcus aureus-produced enterotoxins that function as superantigens, viruses of the herpes virus (Epstein-Barr virus and human herpesvirus 6) and human endogenous retrovirus (HERV) families and the protozoa Acanthamoeba castellanii. Evidence, from studies with humans and animal models, supporting the association of these various pathogens with the development and/or exacerbation of MS will be discussed along with the potential mechanisms including molecular mimicry, epitope spreading and bystander activation. In contrast, infection with certain parasites such as helminthes (Schistosoma mansoni, Fasciola hepatica, Hymenolepis nana, Trichuris trichiura, Ascaris lumbricoides, Strongyloides stercolaris, Enterobius vermicularis) appears to protect against the development or exacerbation of MS… A complex interaction between the CNS (including the blood-brain barrier), multiple infections with various infectious agents (occurring in the periphery or within the CNS), and the immune response to those various infections may have to be deciphered before the etiology of MS can be fully understood.”

MS is another label that needs a better definition.  Since so many things can cause/exacerbate it, it’s a highly individual issue that needs to be approached as such.  There is no four-cornered box with this beast and you must be willing to go down many rabbit-holes to find answers.  This is a journey, not a destination.  There may be many issues that must be addressed in order to achieve health – just like with Lyme/MSIDS.

Doctors Sue State of CA Over Doctor Censorship Bill & Biden Forced to Retreat as Military Gets Major “Vaccine” Mandate Victory. Runners Collapsing at Brooklynn Marathon

Physicians for Informed Consent Sues State of California, Argues That Doctor Censorship Bill AB 2098 Violates the U.S. Constitution

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Dec. 07, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

Physicians for Informed Consent (PIC), an educational nonprofit organization focused on science and statistics, has filed a First Amendment free speech lawsuit (2:22-cv-02147) in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California, and request for preliminary injunction, against the State of California and Osteopathic Medical Board of California in order to protect the free speech of all physicians in California.

The lawsuit argues that the State has weaponized the vague phrase “misinformation,” thereby unconstitutionally targeting physicians who publicly disagree with the government’s public health edicts on COVID-19.

Expert cardiologist and PIC member Sanjay Verma, M.D., has been tracking and cataloging CDC errors in real time. For the case, he has provided what he calls “a detailed declaration exposing the government’s scientific errors and the constitutional dangers of censoring dissent.”  Source

**UPDATE**

While Biden signed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) ending the requirement for military members to be “vaccinated” against COVID, much uncertainty remains, including what happens to those who have refused the shots and were either kicked out or in the middle of the separation process?

Biden Forced to Retreat as Military Troops Who Opposed Covid Vaccine Mandate Get Major Victory

The White House had even gone so far as threatening that the president might veto the bill.

The Pentagon is halting all actions related to its COVID-19 vaccine mandate after President Joe Biden signed the Fiscal 2023 National Defense Authorization Act, which includes an end to the mandate.

“The NDAA requires that, not later than 30 days after enactment, the Secretary of Defense rescind the mandate that members of the Armed Forces be vaccinated against COVID-19. As a result, the Department will rescind the mandate and is currently in the process of developing further guidance. During this process, we are pausing all actions related to the COVID-19 vaccine mandate,” a Pentagon spokesperson told The Epoch Times in an email.

Meanwhile, in little noticed news, all 16 runners who collapsed and runner who died at Brooklyn half marathon said they were “vaccinated.”  I’m sure it’s #ABV.

The New York Post reported that Reichman, a 32 year-old man, collapsed “after suffering from possible cardiac arrest, according to event organization New York Road Runners club and the NYPD.”

All runners must be able to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination in order to participate in NYRR races,” the website states. “For more information, visit our COVID-19 vaccination policy page. Please stay up-to-date on the latest news and guidelines from the CDC, WHO, and your local and national authorities.”

“The health and safety of our runners and staff remain a priority for NYRR,” the Brooklyn Half organizers add. “All NYRR staff will be practicing social distancing and wearing the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE). If you have any questions, please reach out to us at help@nyrr.org. Thank you for your continued patience and support.”  Source

So much for caring about the health and safety of the runners.

A sample of relevant stories about athletes that recently suffered from heart conditions that can be independently corroborated are listed below:

  • Sergio Aguero, 33, Barecelona star striker admitted to hospital for cardiac exam after match
  • Abou Ali, 22, professional footballer collapses on pitch during game
  • Avi Barot, 29, Saurashtra cricketer suffers cardiac arrest, passes away
  • Rune Coghe, 18, Belgian footballer suffers cardiac arrest on pitch
  • Helen Edwards, referee taken off court during World Cup qualifier due to heart issues
  • Jente van Genechten, 25, footballer collapses on field due to heart attack
  • Cienna Knowles, 19, equestrian star hospitalized due to blood clots
  • Frederic Lartillot, French footballer collapses in changing room, passes away due to heart attack after game
  • Dimitri Lienard, 33, FC Strasbourg midfielder collapses during game
  • Greg Luyssen, 22, Belgian pro cyclist ends career due to heart issues
  • Antoine Méchin, 31, French triathlete suffers pulmonary embolism following Moderna
  • Fabrice NSakala, 31, Besiktas defender collapses on pitch during game
  • Pedro Obiang, 29, ex-West Ham star suffers myocarditis post vaccine
  • Luis Ojeda, 20, Argentine football player unexpectedly passes away
  • Emil Palsson, 28, Sognal midfielder collapses due to cardiac arrest during game
  • Jens De Smet, 27, footballer has to sit down on field, passes away of heart attack
  • Benjamin Taft, 31, German footballer collapses after game, passes away due to heart attack

It is unknown if specific players are vaccinated, because medical histories are private information and cannot be divulged without patient authorization. But U.S. sports leagues and European leagues have compelled athletes to be vaccinated in order to participate, making vaccination highly likely.

ABC News reported in October that the NBA, NFL, and MLS have “vaccination” rates greater than 90% with the NHL and WNBA at over 99%.

Predictably, ‘the powers that be’ want to blame “climate change” and the weather for these heart events, but completely deny and ignore the mRNA injections which research and reality continue to demonstrate are cardiotoxic.
